Isolation and Characterization of Arabinose Mycolate from Firmly Bound Lipids of Mycobacteria1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The glycolipid, d-arabinose-5-mycolate, was purified from bound lipids of mycobacteria. The significance of this glycolipid in the chemical structure of cell wall and wax D is discussed. The hypothetical chemical structure of mycolic acid-arabinogalactan portion of cell wall and wax D is proposed.
